Lively Wiki

Urls

•  http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com/repository/lively-wiki/index.xhtml (start page)
•  http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com/repository/lively-wiki/example.xhtml (fresh LK startup, all examples loaded)
•  http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com/repository/lively-wiki/calendar0.xhtml (LK advent calendar)
•  http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com/repository/lively-wiki/wikiScripts2.xhtml (scripts for maintaining the wiki)

Modifying the wiki

• To get write access open the World menu and choose 'authenticate for write access' and enter your livelykernel.sunlabs.com user name and password
• To save a page
  • choose 'save current world to current url' in the World menu or
  • move your mouse over the Wiki control (top left corner of the screen) and hit ‘Save'
• To create a new page
  • Choose 'Publish world as...' from the world menu or
  • [Config.confirmNavigation must be true] create a link to a non existing page (in any TextMorph select text and hit alt+u and enter the name of a non existing xhtml file). Click on the link and choose 'Create and follow link' or 'Save, create, follow link';

Copy & Paste

• MacOS: works definitely with Webkit/Safari? (cmd+c, cmd+v, cmd+x)
• Windows: does not work with Safari but with Chrome (for copying/pasting/cutting once press two times ctrl+c/ctrl+v/ctr+x)

Caching

When navigating inside the Lively Wiki a timestamp is appended to URLs which forces the Web browser to reload the page (and not use a cached version of it). Without these queries (e.g. when you follow a link from outside LK) you will occasionally experience that you are looking at a old version of the page which was in your Web browser cache. To avoid this disable Web browser caching.

Scripts for creating content

When creating content for the Lively Wiki (especially complex morph structures) it can be an advantage to write a script which creates the content. That way it is easy to recreate pages if incompatibilities with later versions of the source code appear. The script for creating the index.xhtml is attached.
